Momotombo Volcano, Nicaragua

From NASA Earth:




Momotombo Volcano, Nicaragua
For the first time in more than a century, Nicaragua’s Momotombo Volcano awoke with an explosive eruption. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on the Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite acquired this image of the area on December 4, 2015.

This false-color image highlights hot areas, primarily the lava flow that extends to the northeast.

The last confirmed eruption of Momotombo occurred in January 1905.
